The Hyannis Library Foundation wants the community the library supports to support the library right back.

A Nov. 6 fundraiser at Tommy Doyle’s in Hyannis is aimed at putting a dent in the anticipated $60,000 gap in the library’s 2011 budget. The reduction came as part of a redistribution of the town library grant.

“The Main Event” will feature Jazz legend Lou Colombo, good-time music favorites Freddie and the Maybellines, local merchant giveaways and a 50/50 raffle.

Penn said the group would like to sell between 400 and 500 tickets, raising $10,000 to $12,500.

“We’d like to have the heat above 55,” Penn said, a reference to one of the cost saving measures adopted last year, that kept the thermostat low and the library a “cool” place to be.

Aylmer noted that while the Sturgis Library in Barnstable Village is located in the oldest building, the Hyannis Public Library is the oldest continuously operating library in Barnstable, dating its initial organization to 1865.

Tickets are $25 and available at the library. For those who can’t attend, donations may be made at the library or by completing a downloadable form, available at hyannislibrary.org.
